I've been coming here for 3 years and this is my favorite dentist I've ever had. I recommend Dr. Funke and his team to all my friends and family. His team are all personable and sweet. Julia is my hygienist and her cleanings are so thorough and comfortable. read more

Today I went in for a teeth cleaning and I'm always greeted when I walk in. The ladies at the front desk are friendly and helpful. If they don't have an answer right away such as with insurance questions, they research it and call you with the info. They give several appointment reminders, via text and email, as well as a physical appointment card if requested. I've had both dental hygienists clean my teeth before and both are gentle and very nice. They offer a goodie bag upon leaving, which has a toothbrush and travel size toothpaste I've also had cavities and other work done by Dr. Funke and I haven't had any issues with his work. He's nice and informative and gives you all the possible options so you're able to make an informed decision about the work your teeth need. Located on the 2nd floor, elevator, handicapped parking available, and wheelchair accessible entrance and bathrooms. General parking can get tight as there's several doctor offices in the area. There is some street parking. Parking is free. read more

When I originally moved up here and my BF had delta dental, he didn't know where to go for dentistry. After some Yelping and phone calls, he decided to give this place a try. Fast forward to now-ish I have been a patient of Dr. Funke for about 3 teeth cleanings (1.5yrs). My Reno Yelp community didn't let me down on this place. The staff at Funke Smiles are great, super friendly and they thoroughly enjoy what they do. From the receptionist when you first walk in, to the dental hygienist, even to the DDS; everyone here makes you feel welcomed. I never feel rushed through my appointments and as funny as it is, the staff here really wants to talk to you and get to know you (yeah with all the stuff in your mouth, how are you going to respond, lol). I remember the first time when I came here, and had my mouth checked out by Dr, Funke, I was very surprised to overhear his assessment of my mouth, mucous membranes, and even my teeth. From childhood to adulthood, I have never heard any of my DDS medically describe or chart an assessment like that. Can you say thorough?! I highly recommend this place and I believe they are one of the few places that accept delta dental if that helps. read more

Dr. Funke has been our family dentist for 10+ years and he is fantastic. I just had him replace a crown on my front tooth and it looks great. I'm a big baby when it comes to dental work and he is gentle, reassuring and explains all procedures fully. He has installed a crown for one son and veneers for another son. All of the crowns and veneers look great and the color matching is perfect. I love my hygienist, Kaitlyn. She is gentle when cleaning my teeth. Kaitlyn always puts me at ease and she is very friendly. Dr. Funke's staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful. read more

This guy is a gem, and his staff are the supporting gold around him. Everyone is friendly, polite, and efficient, and they even have a bowl of free candy at the front desk to help ensure their longevity! Dr. Kai is funny enough to have his own TV show, yet efficient and a master of his craft. He keeps you informed as he does surgery, so you know what is going on within your mouth. The hygienist I have had there has a soft, but firm touch, and I leave wanting to smile at the world after a cleaning. The front desk staff are angels, truly. My only complaint is that Dr. Kai waits until he's stuffed a football-sized object in my mouth before asking me a question that I can't answer with a yes or no. I have had to tell him "MMMFFFQUUUUGLLLLURUUURPPTINGA!!" several times now. read more

Ok. Just have to be clear here. I HATE having dental work done. Just dreadful. Anyway. Kai is a nice regular guy that isn't all creepy and strange like some dentists can be. Does a great job. Seems to keep up with the times technologically and seems to have reasonable prices and hours! But to be honest the real reason why I am yelping is because of the wonderful staff that Dr. Funke has. Wonderful hygenists, assistants and office are what you will experience here. Great service from door to door. Been going here for about 8 years. read more

Dr. Funke was my dentist for years before I moved to South Reno and sought a local dentist. Despite my dental anxiety, I appreciated his efficiency and affordability. However, I rate his practice 3/5 stars due to recurring issues with my dental work. Frequent re-filling of the same cavities was required, and my new dentist later found several fillings had failed and needed to be refilled. I also had to redo a costly root canal and crown originally done by Dr. Funke. Since switching dentists, I've actually had no further issues which is sad to admit as I really enjoyed Dr. Funke and his staff. read more

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Funke's front staff a few years ago- it was so bad that they made me afraid of dental care with the amount of negative judgement that I received from them. Since then, despite asking never to be emailed again, I continue to get emails from them. I would never go back to them again- please check your email marketing, office staff, and remove me from your list. read more

This was the most pleasant and least painful dental experience I've ever had. The staff were very friendly and the dentist and assistant were very gentle. I appreciate you all. Thank you. read more

Came here by chance, close to my house. Was pleasantly surprised - very friendly staff, very quick, hardly any wait when I come. They always remember my name, makes it very personable. I've had multiple cleanings here, never painful, never get my gums. Dr Funke is professional, straight to the point and gentle with his dental work. Probably the least painful gum injections I've ever had. Overall a good experience. read more

My name is Anthony R. Howe and my recent visit has proven that this Dr. and staff are six stars, not only did they help me feel comfortable during a very painful time but they went the extra mile to see that I was taken care of by a oral surgery office that had the same values and care that Dr. Funke and staff gave me. Thank you, Dr. Funke and staff for handling my issues in a time of great need, this office is a six star and nothing less. read more

I have been to a lot of dentists in Reno and am pleased I found my forever home with Dr. Funke. I am always made to feel like part of a family when I come to my appointments. Dr. Funke is hilarious and I never have had any issues with pain or discomfort. I look forward to my appointments! read more

I hate, I hate, I hate going to the dentist! I would rather give birth all over again than have my teeth worked on. I have been a patient of Dr. Funke for I think fifteen or so years. And he has always been patient and thorough with me, calming my anxieties each and every time. And I walk out with a beautiful, clean smile! His office staff are professional and fun to visit. They are very helpful in answering my questions and meeting my needs. They make me feel valued and like family. My hygienist was careful in cleaning my sensitive teeth and informative in telling me how well I was doing with my home care and what I can do to improve my habit. They provide child and family dental care. I recommend Dr. Funke to everyone I meet when they ask for a great dentist in the area. read more

In all of my fat old life when someone tells me they will keep me updated on whatever they will be updating upon, they don't. Car repair, oh we will call you, they don't you have to call them. Furniture delivery, we will call you before we come, they don't and they don't show up. Every Dr. or Dentist says they will call, they don't and again you have to call them. EXCEPT for Dr. Funke's office. They say they will and they do at every turn of events, totally amazing huh, and such a nice surprise. Bravo to the whole group. read more

As dentists go, this is as good as it gets. Wonderful staff, and professional scheduling. This is our family dentist, and we've had both minor and major work done over the years. It's always as quick and painless as possible, and always with the latest methods and tools. Dr. Kai is fun to chat with too. A great dentist with great staff in a nice office. Everything you could ask for. Recommended. read more

I am usually very uncomfortable and nervous at the dentist and they made me feel comfortable and talked to me about what they were doing the whole time. The staff is all super friendly and didn't make me feel bad about anything at any time I highly recommend this dentist for someon looking. read more

I thought I had found a great dentist when I read all his reviews. Let me start with the staff; they are the best staff members I've ever met. From the first time I called they were very cheerful and happy to answer my questions. I went in for my first appointment, which I hadn't been to the dentist in about 4 years, of course I knew I had cavities which he confirmed I had 4. We made two separate appointments to work on 2 at a time. First two were fine, next round though he didn't numb me correctly! He started drilling away on my cavity and I felt it all, the worst feeling ever! I let him know I was uncomfortable and he said if I could just bare it since he didn't have much to drill off of my tooth. I just wanted it to be over and I just decided to go ahead and let him finish. But I will not be going back to his office. read more

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Funke and his staff! I had seen several dentists in Reno before him, I was told something different every single time, from needing crowns, and other expensive procedures. Dr. Funke told me the very first time that I didn't need any work. Just my cleanings. His integrity is far from the norm! I've been going to him almost since he started practicing. His staff has been with him almost as long as I have! He and his staff are just the best!! I promise, you'll never be sorry you chose him as your dentist! read more

My wife and I have been going to Dr Funke for 20 years. We were gone from 2004 through 2015. He and his staff are great, efficient and friendly. We are glad he was still here when we returned. read more

This is the best dentist i have ever been to. Everyone is so friendly and gentle. Everything is super clean and looks great. If you are looking for a dentist then definitely go here read more

Dr. Kai and his staff are the best, very professional, friendly and helpful! They actually make going to the dentist fun!

I really like Dr Funke- he gets right to business. Not really a talker- but who needs that? He is clearly focusing on perfection because I have had a couple fillings done with zero pain when exiting the office! I have alot of anxiety about going to the dentist- however when I get work done I don't walk away with suffering and everyone is really calm. I feel great! I love love love the front office staff. You always know an office is running well when all the staff stays consistent. They are so nice and pure sunshine. read more

After 45 years of bad dentists, I finally found the only one I can tolerate. Dr. Funke is great and the office staff makes one feel comfortable and well taken care of. read more
